Part of the reason that 7.x is faster is because they preload the software at each reboot (check your start menu). So, you are simply keeping part of the software preloaded all the time - taking up memory and such.
So, it's not really "faster"... they are just "cheating" to make it seem faster. If you unload the preloader, it's about as fast as the old versions were.
Uhm, nope. Have you even installed it or are you just guessing from previous versions?
Yes, I have installed it, and it DOES have the startup menu item.
I will admit, it's faster than 6, but 4.x was the fastest, period. 7.x is tolerable with AR-speedup, though.
